In recent months, much ado has been made about America’s diplomatic opponents developing anti-ship capabilities that we currently have no defense against. Chinese and Russian anti-ship missiles, capable of achieving hypersonic speeds, represent a kind of threat the United States hasn’t faced in decades: a technology that America is not only behind on, but apparently, […]
Although the U.S. reportedly tested an operational hypersonic flight vehicle in cooperation with Australia last year, statements made by Air Force Materiel Command commander, Gen. Ellen Pawlikowski, on Tuesday seem to indicate that America is significantly behind both Russia and China in the race to field capable hypersonic platforms. Hypersonic velocities, or speeds that exceed […]
China sent it’s yet to be named, first domestically built aircraft carrier out on sea trials while stating they plan to build more. The new aircraft carrier left the shipyard in northeastern Dalian at 6.45am, Xinhua reported, sailing out of the port half an hour later in heavy fog to put its home-grown power and […]
Kim Jong Un has a problem. Put aside the obvious issues like his weight or the bad haircut. He rules an isolated and impoverished nation, surrounded by his dad’s old advisors and generals, who know he is unqualified and that they could do a better job. So what is a young despot supposed to do […]
Last week, a Russian Su-27 fighter intercepted an unarmed U.S. Navy P-8 surveillance plane while flying in international airspace over the increasingly contested Baltic Sea. The intercept, like many before it, was characterized as “unprofessional” by American Defense Officials, but received little fanfare in the American media. Why? Well, in short, it’s because these sorts […]
The Battle of Dien Bien Phu was the culminating piece of the guerrilla war fought between the French and the Viet Minh from 1949 until the garrison was overrun and the French withdrew from the country. After fighting a losing guerrilla war, the French dropped paratroopers and Foreign Legionnaires into Dien Bien Phu, a small […]
On April 22nd, Keziah Daum, an American teenager, shared pictures from her prom in which she was wearing a Chinese qipao dress on Twitter. PROM pic.twitter.com/gsJ0LtsCmP — Keziah (@daumkeziah) April 22, 2018 The legions of easily offended people arrived a tad later with pitchforks and torches to put a teenager on internet trial for “cultural […]
The Pentagon confirmed Thursday that Chinese nationals fired lasers near a military base in east Africa against U.S. military aircraft in the region, injuring several pilots. “These are very serious incidents. There have been two minor injuries. This activity poses a threat to our airmen,” White told reporters. “We have formally demarched the Chinese government, […]
I received some odd assignments as assistant adjutant of the 1st Special Forces Group (Airborne) in the fall of 1962. I supervised the carving of a large pair of parachute wings out of ice for a formal ball. I ordered the names of officers departing from the Group headquarters engraved on boxes of dessert bronzeware […]
In today’s media climate, even the most ardent follower of the news could be forgiven for falling behind on the complex issues of the day. Between work, family, friends, and the other obligations that make up everyday life, it’s a miracle anyone has time to devote some thought and concern to the plight of civilians […]
As the United States Navy works to address looming concerns about the capability gap created by Chinese and Russian hypersonic capable anti-ship missiles, the solution to their problem may actually come from the U.S. Air Force. Advanced anti-ship missiles capable of traveling at speeds in excess of Mach 5 (the “hypersonic” barrier) are too fast […]
United States military pilots have been warned to beware of possible laser attacks near China’s first overseas military base in Djibouti amid increasing signs of friction between the two armed forces in the Horn of Africa. The military issued a Notice to Airmen, later reproduced on the US Federal Aviation Administration’s website, that there had […]
